Penske® Reviews
This was the second time I've moved long distance in the last two years, and the first time I used Penske. The 26' truck was clean and everything worked the way it was supposed to. We had a small hiccup with paperwork, but the rental agents at both the pickup and dropoff locations made it as painless as possible on me. I would use Penske again if I'm moving across the country, but I hope to not have to do that again.
The truck was brand new and drove like a dream. We rented it from our local Home Depot, along with moving blankets. It could not have been easier, especially since we did not have to return it to another Home Depot, but rather a local Penske dealer. We had the 26' truck for four days, and saved us a lot of money. I will say my husband is familiar with driving large equipment, thus the reason for us doing our own move. His only complaint was the side mirrors on the truck.
The truck was great and the prefect size. My only complaint is I chose to have the same pick up and drop off site on their website only to find out when I went to return the truck they don't take drop offs. They did comp me for the extra mileage but we wasted about forty precious minutes that could have been used to unpack.
Nice newer clean truck. Pick up and drop off was quick. I chose Penske because they offered trucks with lift gates and their equipment is generally in better condition. I would recommend Penske if you want clean low mileage trucks that are not beat to death. They are not the cheapest option when choosing a rental truck but you tend to get what you pay for.
Not only was the truck practically new and spotless, the reservation process was fast and efficient. The msot important thing was I had an emergency come up and rather than add to my distress they worked with me and I could not believe I was dealing with a large corporation - I felt like I was dealing with a small local business that knew me and wanted to help! Consequently I will never do business with any other rental company except Penske!
We had a 22ft truck to move a 2BR and 1BR apartment into a single house. We should have gone with a larger truck as we had to leave a few items behind to be moved separately. The staff overall seemed friendly and helpful. The truck was fairly roomy and clean. We chose them because they were cheaper than other options and offered a AAA discount. I would use them again.
Best rental truck company out there. They gave me an upgrade to a larger truck at no extra charge, helped me when I wasn't able to get the ramp back up and even extended my rental an extra day without charge when I couldn't get my ramp back in the truck in order to return it....their customer service and road side assistance was so responsive!
Penske customer service is wonderful. They bent over backwards to make our drive painless. Our 26' truck was loaded, along with a car trailer. It could use a few more horsepower. 35 MPH going up hills was a bit much. Passed by everyone. Once on the flat, it was smooth sailing. Clean, comfortable truck.
